Can't get certain Categories using ES fare on Sunshine?

[ready123go]

Just had to reschedule my cruise and I can't get my usual category (8A) under Early Saver fare. I had to book 8A using Past Guest. I could book 8B using ES, but not 8A.

 

Has anyone heard of this? Is this new, for Sunshine only or just a glitch? :confused: I am booking April 2015, which is pretty far out.

Under the new Carnival fare pricing, Early Saver is only offered if there is not another sale going on with a lower cruise rate price. I called Carnival just last night to ask when Early Saver would be back for my May 2014 cruise and that's what I was told. If there is currently a promotion going on for your sail date, that is why you aren't seeing Early Saver.

It's offered, just not in all categories. It starts in 8B and the category I booked is 8A. I had to book under Past Guest. (edited my original post to clarify)

 

ES is the lowest cruise rate price on that booking right now, with PG about $100 higher.
